It was an entertaining encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab. KXIP failed to chase the mammoth total of 213 due to another batting collapse. Rahul received a lot of criticism despite scoring 79 runs for KXIP. Twitter lashed out on Rahul and branded him as a selfish batsman.

Despite scoring 79 runs!

KL Rahul is the most selfish player of #VIVOIPL

No one else supported him!

It will be a joke if KL Rahul's knock will be termed as a "lone warrior" knock.#IPL2019 #SRHvKXIP

KL Rahul seems to be playing for self. Not even giving strike to Prabhsimran.#KXIPvSRH

Reaching close to the Orange cap!

KL Rahul is not playing for his team but for the Orange cap.

KL Rahul is responsible for the defeat of KingsXI. He could not play with the speed , he should have played. Other side he left the wicket keeping.

SRH Bowlers capitalized on opportunities!

KL Rahul has been more selfish than ever today, he has done this in other games too this season, plays so slow, lets the best bowlers use up overs and when the other bowlers are tired, he smacks them at the end! Not for the team but for his own stats. #KXIP #SRHvKXIP #IPL2019

Absolutely right!

KL Rahul is getting runs at the tail end of the innings but, in all fairness, his side would have liked a lot more from him earlier. Was 39(36). The runs would have counted for much more then.

Still not able to churn results!

KL Rahul is watching too much of #Dhoni ... #SRHvsKXIP #runsaway

KL Rahul is a fraud.
